Anybody else have a 1966 F-85 station wagon? I'd love to see and hear about yours. Please post a picture or two. Please post any pictures of 66 F-85 wagons from magazines or whatever. Does a 66 factory dealer brochure have some nice pictures of a F-85 wagon?

I bought my wagon last December. She's all stock except for the rally wheels and Flowmaster muffler I installed. My F-85 wagon is the Deluxe model with some nice options: 330, AT, AC, PS, PB, power rear window, remote mirror and tilt wheel. Also has a vanity mirror on the passenger side sun visor. The original protecto plate was still in the glove box.

I'd also like seeing 67 F-85 wagons. They are very similar.

Picture of the interior.

 

Sharp car! Thanks for posting the photos. I don't have a wagon. But I do keep my eyes open for 60's wagon. I think I prefer the standard wagons myself.

That would be a nice complement to my convertible. Send it my way please.

 

Thanks for the compliments!

 

nice clean lines ...

A 2 door would be nice but I think {delete} was the only one ...

Look what google popped up for two door olds ...

sweet ride

 

Neat 1948 Oldsmobile woody station wagon.

I sure would like to see some 1966 F-85 wagons! I haven't found any with Google. I've only seen one other 66 F-85 wagon since I bought mine. It was for sale on ebay, selling for around $1500. That one was very similar to mine but may have had some rust issues. The rear bumper was covered with rust. Fortunately mine doesn't have much rust but needs a little body work and paint. Wish I could find some nice straight bumpers. Both of mine are bent pretty bad.

GM should have made more 2-door A-body wagons! Not just the 64-65 Chevelle's.

 

Station wagons are cool. Personally I like the Custom Cruisers; however, the smaller ones are cool as well!

Very nice car!

 

Nice, big wagon fan myself.

 

nice car...impressive…im a 'big wagon' fan and yours is one of my fave because some of it resembles mazda parts in it..

 

Thanks. Here's a couple more pictures.

 

You CAN get those ol' bent, rusted bumpers straightened out and rechoromed, you know. Realy a nice lookin' car, and I, of course, have a certain fondness for the Flat Top Wagons, for some reason.........

 

Well I got a 65 f85 deluxe that lives on the Big Island of Hawaii...her name's Lucille.
I can forward some pix if you send me an email edminerjr@gmail.com aloha,ed

 

Please post your pictures here or in the gallery.

 

i'm not good at that stuff...i can forward from my email....Ed

 

Thanks for the compliment. I hope to get the bumpers straightened soon. I just haven't had the money.

 

Here's our daily driver.

 

I'm with you on that... If you find a good place to straighten bumpers, be sure to post it. In looking for a rear bumper for my '67 (Pontiac) wagon, the best I could find was about $750 to re-work it....

 

We had to get another bumper for our F85 after someone hit it while it was parked. J.B's Quality Metal Finishing did a great job with a front bumper for our wagon. It was about the same cost as Longroof paid, but it's a great looking bumper, and in our case his insurance paid the bill. I know they have a shop in Portland, OR, but they send the work to their shop in CA.

 

There's a shop in Balch Springs (suburb of Dallas, TX -Economy Chrome Plating) that will do a fine job on your bumpers for somewhere around $300-350. They also sandblast and powdercoat. The owner is a crusty ol' gentleman. I enjoy his stories, especially how much he hates Atmos Energy (Gas company) and what they charge him to heat his vats.

 

You have a very nice looking 66 F-85! Thanks for posting pictures. Which engine and trans is in your wagon? Any unusual options?

The chrome shops I've checked want anywhere from $250 to $350. I might use Superior Chrome Plating in Houston. I've heard many positive comments about them.

 

Thanks. It has the 330 with a TH350. Power steering is the only option it has, but I am the third owner and I think it has 86,000 original miles.

Cool. I like the TH350 swap. I heard mine has fairly low miles too for a 40+ year old vehicle with 125,208.

Is your wagon a F-85 or F-85 Deluxe? Do you have a picture of your interior? I'd like to see how your interior differs from mine if yours is a standard F-85.

 

I guess it's the Deluxe and looks very similar to yours. But mine is the brown and tan interior. I'll try to get some pics.

 

I'd love to see a picture either way. The Deluxe model has simulated wood grain on the door panels. Does your dash emblem say Deluxe on it?

 

Here's a picture of the dash emblem and rear window switch in my wagon.

 

You may have already seen my car from a few months ago, but here it is again. Thanks for looking! I may sell the car for a very fair price if there is any interest out there??

I am looking for rear tail light lenses. Mine are in good shape, but 1 appears to be a Vista Cruiser lens (L) which is a little more fancy than the (R). Both sides have a "nubby" effect molded in, but the (L) also has 5 molded horizontal bars on it?? I guess '66 lenses would also work??

THANKS!

I do remember seeing your 67 wagon. I like it!

I wish new tail light lenses were available for our wagons.

 

Ed, Do you still check out this site?
Do you still have the wagon?
Is yours the blue 65 wagon I saw on the big island craigslist for sale back in March/April (I think)???
I know this is an OLD thread, hope you still visit this site.
Wish I would have seen this thread before we visited Pahoa last Nov.

I own a 1966 Deluxe F-85 Wagon (including a roof rack)- purchased by my father in New Jersey.
I've shown the auto at the 1995 O.C.A. Grand Nationals in Greensboro, NC, but now it basically
sits awaiting a paint job that will take it to its original color - ocean mist.

 

Nice. Is your wagon all original? Please post a picture.

 

Since this thread is 4 yeard old maybe you wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the f-85 wagon I had at about that time. I like wagons and have another one, brand X with more windows.

I met the owner of that car 3-4 years ago in Columbus at Goodguys. Was that you?

 

No.
You came all the way from Dallas to Columbus OH for Goodguys?
I'm not sure when I owned the wagon, I guess it has been quite a while and I didn't realize it.
I saw a post on ROP about the wagon, got the number, talked to the guy, got on a plane 3 days later and flew to Ft Lauderdale FL. He met me at the airport, we went to the parking garage, he started it, I walked around it, gave him a check, got in and headed for Ohio. The whole deal couldn't have taken 10 minutes. I kept it through the winter, sold it to a friend, he kept it for a while and sold it at a Rod Run in Pigeon Forge TN I think.
I saw it advertised for sale on ebay I think in 2011, it was in PA. I think I still have the phone number from the auction.
Was it for sale at Goodguys? It was/is a really good car, original paint, not good but mostly original. It was beautiful underneath, solid car.

 

I think the guy was from Tennessee now that I think about it.
It was for sale I think he was asking 7500.00 ish

I took my old 66 up there the first year it was finished. Saturday they had me park in the pros picks area. We had a blast. It is "the" show of all shows GG does IMO.

 

Nice wagon thread. Love those older ones, very nice!

 

It's always nice to see activity on this thread. I remember seeing your F-85 wagon for sale. I guess was about 4 years ago. Time flies. Good looking Buick too.

Does anybody have a 66 F-85 dealer brochure? It must have some cool pictures of wagons.

That's cool. I will grab one of the wagon brochures you saw on ebay. Thanks Henry.
